Baby Jojo hopped away from Pass Road Elementary about 10 a.m. Wednesday. The kangaroo was with Cody Breland of Wild Acres mobile zoo and party service in McHenry. Breland was showing his animals to children at the school.

Gulfport police issued a BOLO (Be on the Lookout) for Jojo, and a search ensued.

Breland posted on Facebook Wednesday night that Jojo had yet to be found and was likely resting for night. He advised people to call police if they spotted the kangaroo — Jojo hops fast and startles easily.
